"Unknown Error" everytime I try to install a new app

Literally ten minutes ago, I was able to download apps, then all of a sudden, I got this "Unknown error" message and the app I'm trying to download disappears. I've hard rebooted my phone several times, to no avail. Is this something that I can fix, or is this something horribly wrong with my iphone4? I've asked several others who have AT&T as well, and they have no problems. My wireless is working just fine, as well as my service. I'm lost as to what I should do at this point?

I decided to try to go to my apps in the itune store on my computer. When I turned on my computer I could not open itunes. I got an error message saying that some components were not installed properly during last itunes update, and that i should reinstall itunes. I recently updated my itunes software and my iphone software (last time I synced my phone). The unknown error message only showed up on my iphone after those updates (last week). Anyway, I just uninstalled and reinstalled itunes on my computer (pc, not mac). After I re-downloaded itunes i was prompted to update my credit card info (only the security code was missing). Then I went to the apps and was able to update all of them on my computer. Then, I synced my phone and all of the apps updated. Then, I disconnected my phone from the computer. I went to the apps icon on my phone. I went to free apps and picked a free app to test if I could now purchase an app. and it worked fine. Try this. I hope it works for you. I thinbk that it all had something to do with having to update credit info after last itunes update. The app store always needs updated credit info. It was probably erased during last itunes update and was probably also lost on the iphone. This would account for the inability to update/purchase any apps I think. Good luck.

Everytime I try to install a new app, my old email address still comes up even though I changed it on appleid

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

It appears you do not have a valid payment method in your account. Yu ned one even for free apps (unless you created the account following these instructions)
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

My iPad is hacked. Since a few weeks, every time i try to install a new app there is an phishing attempt. Forcing me to put in some "security questions". Is there any way to clean my iPad and to protect it better than vanilla ios?

Welcome to the Apple Community and a merry Christmas.
Start here, and reset your security questions, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help or you don't have a rescue address, you might try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support

"Youtube reported an unknown error" everytime I try to publish to youtube

Lately, everytime I try to publish a video from iMovie to YouTube, I get an error message saying "YouTube reported an unknown error". I end up having to export the movie before I can manually upload it to YouTube, which is quite time consuming. Is there a fix for this issue? I know for me it started when google bought out YouTube.

I think I fixed this.
Go to [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ your sync account], log in, and click clear your sync data.
Then click the Sync now button on the error message.
The error went away for me.

I-tunes ecounters an "unknown error" everytime i try and run it

hello anyone willing to help!
basically, just upgraded to the latest itunes (7.01 i think) and everytime i try and run it, it comes up with the messgae "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." ive seen this problem has happened for other people so far, but nothing exactly the same as whats happening to me.
i do not use Norton, my quicktime works fine, i tried creating another user account to see if itunes worked there (after disabling fast user switching)- it didnt. PLEASE help me someone i have a lot of music that i cant listen to :'(

thank you paul, that's kind of you to say so.
it's plausible that there might be some disk damage in the area of those songs that might be causing this. if so, running a chkdsk over the drive that contains the files might help with that:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
... but if no joy with that, we'd better try tracking down what files the gapless playback analysis is crashing on. the procedure is a bit involved, i'm afraid. see this Roy B post for the procedure:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3413761#3413761
if you can find the file that is causing the crash, would you mind sending a copy through to the Apple engineers for a look, via the email link in the Roy post?

Sync encounters an unknown error everytime I try to sync

Firefox Sync stopped working all of a sudden. It always says "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." I've retried many many times. I even deactivated my Desktop account and then added it again in Sync. I keep getting the same error. I am running Firefox 4.0.1

I think I fixed this.
Go to [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ your sync account], log in, and click clear your sync data.
Then click the Sync now button on the error message.
The error went away for me.

I get an error everytime I try to install the iOS 5.0.1 update

I have been trying to install this update for months now and have been getting the same error. It doesn't give me any specific details in regards to the error, it just states that there is an error installing it. Has anyone else been having this problem?

I agree that problems with iTunes can be resolved by uninstalling the reinstalling it, however given the sketchy information the OP provided, there could be any number of issues with why there are problems downloading the update. Even your reinstall will not solve the problem if it is a firewall or anti-virus issue. Network timeouts will also cause the error.

Help? I keep getting "Unexpected Error" everytime I try to use my new Airport Express to extend my network from my 500GB Time Capsule.

I am trying to extend my network from my 500GB Time Capsule using the new Airport Express I just bought, but no matter what I try I keep getting "Unexpected Error. Try again". The Express is still flashing Amber. I cannot get it to turn green. What am I doing wrong here? Please help me.

Locate the AirPort Express in the same room as the Time Capsule for the setup.
Power off and restart the Time Capsule
Shut down and restart the Mac. Turn on the wireless on the Mac and temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the AirPort Express. In other words, you want to set up the AirPort Express using wireless, since that is the way that it will be used.
Hold in the reset button on the AirPort Express for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express.
AirPort Setup will open up and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Express will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
Enter a device name that you want to use and click Next
Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures everything, and hopefully announces a message of Setup Complete. Click Done.
Now move the AirPort Express to a location that is about half way between the Time Capsule and the area that needs more wireless coverage. Avoid obstructions in the signal path between the Time Capsule and AirPort Express as much as possible.
Walls, ceilings, mirrors, heavy furniture, etc. just kill the wireless signal quality. Keep any cordless phones as far away from either router as possible.
It would be much better if you could plan to connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable, as best case.....you will be losing about half of the network speed trying to use wireless to extend.
